Where does journalism go from here?

from From Here Forward · host alumni UBC

In this episode of From Here Forward, hosts Carol and Jeevan sit down with award-winning journalist, author, and UBC School of Journalism, Writing, and Media Director Kamal Al-Solaylee to examine the state of modern media. From the role of journalism in democracy, to AI, citizen reporting, and the rise of disinformation, Kamal offers candid insights into how the industry is changing—and how journalism schools are preparing the next generation. They also explore the tension between free press and financial pressures, diversity in newsrooms, and why media literacy matters more than ever in a world of information overload.
